Ask Should I build backlinks through comments?

[Meridian]

Building backlinks through comments means dropping a website link in blog comments or forum discussions so people can visit the site. This can work if the comment is helpful and related to the topic, because people may click the link to learn more. But if the comment is just spam with a link, many websites remove it or ignore it, and it does not help rankings. Search engines also reduce the value of spam links. It is better to focus on helpful comments that add to the discussion. Are comment backlinks still useful today?

Most of those links are no-follow anyway, so they don't really help your SEO much. The only time it's actually useful is when you're being real about it. That can bring some traffic if people are interested. But if you're just spamming blog comments everywhere, it won't do much and can even look shady. If you're trying to actually grow your site, focus more on stuff like guest posts, good content, or getting mentioned by others

Dropping links in comments won't do much for rankings today because search engines largely discount them, especially if they look promotional. However, if you're actually contributing something useful to the conversation, it can bring the right kind of visitors and even build relationships in your niche. So it's fine to do occasionally, just don't treat it as a main link-building tactic.

Comment backlinks can still be useful, but only when done in a natural way. When the comment adds real value to the discussion and the link fits the topic, it can bring some traffic. But if it looks forced or only posted for SEO, it usually gets ignored or removed, so the effort goes to waste.

The majority of these links are no-follow, which means they have minimal impact on your SEO efforts. The only situation where they can be beneficial is when they are genuinely relevant and sincere. This can potentially attract traffic if people find the content interesting. However, if you're indiscriminately posting links in blog comments, it's unlikely to yield significant results and may even appear suspicious. If your goal is to genuinely expand your site's reach, concentrate on strategies such as guest posts, high-quality content, or obtaining mentions from other sources.
